Saw this on a boxcar so I googled the company. They provide shortline services, rail services, locomotives and even a dinner train in Kentucky. This is a really cool pic.

They have an active prescence in my area. They have 2 engines assigned to the local ethanol plant, and deliver hoppers and tank cars several times a week. A few miles from me they interchange with CSX. Also outside of Celina OH, they have a repair facility.

I have visited Corman's Cleveland Lines and Western Ohio Lines.
When I stopped at their office at Celina OH to informed them I would be photographing the 9007 at various locations between Celina and Lima and I would stay on public property but,would like to photograph the St.Mary's station and that may involve getting on their property. They had no issues with that.
I was given a Corman coffee cup,note pad and ink pen.These items was surplus from the opening day ceremonies.
I stopped at St.Maty's hobby shop and bought a custom painted Athearn GP7 lettered for R.J.Corman 9007..A foobie for sure but,I like it enough to have 9010 custom painted..

A shortline railroad that has an F7 powered tourist train has to be owned by a railfan.
I've seen the RJC RR a lot around Lexington KY, and have ridden their dinner train.
Unfortunately, RJC died a few years back, at a rather young age. But he supposedly set up some sort of business arrangement to continue running his enterprises in (more or less, I guess) the way he had run them.

It was sometime back, but the wife and I rode the RJ Corman dinner train (actually it was for lunch) while visiting Bardstown, KY. It was a great experience. Excellent food while riding past old whiskey and bourbon distilleries on what I believe was ex L&N trackage. Our train was pulled by two F7 locomotives and our diner car was restored to vintage first class from the early 1900's. Bardstown is also where the "My Old Kentucky Home" is.

R J Corman's F units on the Dinner Train are both FP7s. They have also been known to operate Kentucky Derby Specials on the first saturday in May. The FP7s started out on the Southern Railway (CNO&TP) in 1950.

RJ Corman also has a presence in the southeast. I've seen one of their locos near Myrtle Beach SC.
Union Pacific 428 RJ Corman also has a presence in the southeast. I've seen one of their locos near Myrtle Beach SC.
That would be Corman's Carolina lines that serves North and South Carolina.
Operation started in August 2015.

I use to see RJ Corman bring coal into Cresson, PA to interchange with Norfolk Southern. I think they came out of Clearfield County, but I don't know if they still do or not. I haven't seen them the last couple of times I've been to Cresson.
